Brendon Connelly’s Summary

I've spent the last several years serving as a university administrator in both Student Financial Services and Graduate Admissions. During this tenure I've spent much of my time and efforts in two places:
1) using technology and common sense to develop systems and workflows that help create greater effectiveness and efficiency for my teams;
2) creating and sustaining marketing efforts for a broad range of degree programs and educational services.

Prior to my service in Higher Education, I spent a number of years working in Human Resources and Organizational Development at a Fortune 500 subsidiary. During this time I helped teams across a range of disciplines redefine their work processes; I participated in a large scale redesign and deployment of a comprehensive benefits package; I surveyed and described work that took place within the organization and developed the positions that did that work; across all these disparate functions, I communicated the "why and wherefore's" to stakeholders.

I am most energized and at my creative best when I am leading internal and external efforts to communicate new concepts, helping decision-makers work through their trade offs, and selling by demonstrating genuine value.
